[Previously, on LOST...]


I wonder if it's too soon to make an Air France joke. It probably is.




We have acronyms for everything in Singapore. Too many to mention. With so many acronyms, sooner or later, something funny and unintended is bound to happen. Take for example....At work, we have this organisation which is supposed to look into capability development. Its acronym is the same as that of a mental illness condition. I actually have some traits of this condition. I read somewhere that it might be heredity. In my case, I'm pretty sure it is.

But this is something else. When I saw it for the first time, I thought it was a joke. It's an acronym for some productivity improvement nonsense. When I found out the acronym wasn't a joke, it got even funnier.

For those who are unaware as to why it's funny, you might want to take a look at this.

"Pride Day" has a drastically different meaning in other parts of the world.




When The Straits Times started publishing more letters online, I thought it would be a good forum for people to voice out their concerns and bring up issues where we need more awareness. I was wrong. The online version of the forum page turned out to be mostly a complaint forum. Some of the stuff they publish are downright ridiculous.

There are several examples from recent days, but let's just take this for example. You fractured your elbow. Boo-freakin'-hoo. What did you expect people passing by to do? Touch your elbow and heal you? Or do you just want someone to sayang you? If an ambulance has been called, then that's pretty much it, isn't it? Unless there are people walking around with a magical healing touch, you're pretty much out of luck.

Dumb-ass.
